Primary aged children with prior experience of Social Thinking® strategies.

Partners in Communication are offering workshops over the July holidays (4th – 6th July 2017) for primary school children. These workshops will be run with Speech Pathologists and an Occupational therapist and use the Social Thinking methodology as seen in The Incredible Flexible You®, We Thinkers®, Social Thinking and Me® and Superflex® (produced by www.socialthinking.com) together with the ‘Zones of Regulation’ by Leah Kuypers.

These programs are a social thinking curriculum for early childhood and are designed for 4-8 yr olds.

Groups will be tailored accordingly to ability and age. Minimum numbers will be required.

These groups are for children who are in their early primary years and who are familiar with Social Thinking strategies, either from prior group exposure or individual sessions.

They might have difficulties with:

Listening and attending

Initiating and maintaining conversations

Relating socially

Negotiating and compromising

Making and maintaining friendships

These groups aim to better equip children with the skills required to play with others, learn in a group and consider the thoughts and feelings of themselves and others.

Group Structure

The groups are for 4 – 5 children together with a speech pathologist, occupational therapist and experienced assistants.

They run for a duration of 1.75 hrs, with parents returning 20 minutes prior to the end of the session for the feedback component.
